**** The Janka wood hardness rating (in pound-force) for Ironwood is 3840; that for Leopardwood is 2160. Not really close. Ironwood is one of the hardest woods, period. Leopardwood is definitely above average in that respect.

We just need Zach to release a VC or AC in Quebracho or Lignum Vitae now.

Actually my ideal would be one in Snakewood, I don’t know if he’s ever used it. Super hard and dense, but also absolutely beautiful.

Who has VC in a wooden box (like the attached one)?
Could you please measure the dimensions of the box and its total weight (approximate), including the headphones?
Thanks

Thank you,
I have got Ironwood VC and I had borrowed stock Sapele VC. I still can not decide what wood to have. Sapele wood VC is 1360 Janka and I was pleased by its weighty sound caused by decay - it was gorgeous with a prog metal music, but added decay was too much for other genres like classic (with my setup). Ironwood VC is beautiful, I can tell there is more clarity, less decay, this pair is fantastic allrounder with all genres I cant decide if I should have VC in different wood mostly for progmetal or keep the Ironwood VC - but VO is already my allrounder .

I have to confess, I bought the VC and VO with a thought I will choose between them and sell the other - I cant, I simply cant and still have both

Beautiful Ironwood! I was able to grab a set in last year's select stock wood VC sale and really pleased how they came out.

Yes, I have it from the same set also!

I do. I'll try to remember to weigh/measure it tonight.

I measured mine at 13.25" long, 11" deep (not including metal clasp), and 5.25" tall. I don't have a scale right here, but the weight on the shipping label says 7 lbs.

I literally spit coffee laughing at the 7 lbs. Hadn't read the request carefully and was imagining an ironwood VC weighing 7 lbs. Holy Janka!

Ha! Sorry--I probably should have been clearer, too. That's the weight listed on the shipping label for everything shipped--the wooden box, VCs in the box, all the accessories like pads and cables and paperwork, and also the packing material.

Today I installed the titan acoustic mesh (solid for closed zmfs) on my vc, and the treble now sounds really smoothed out and very nice. I was always very sensitive to sibilance (the focal elegia and beyerdyanmic headphones hurt my ears after a couple minutes) and even paired with tubes on the cayin ha3a I thought the vc treble can be a little bit hot at times (even with -2db high shelf filter from 6k+). According to my email question to zmf, they said that the acoustic mesh reduces treble response, while not really affecting the mids and the bass, and I have to agree. I have the ori pads in cowhide installed and couple with the acoustic mesh, my vc's have gotten a nice increase in bass and decay due to the Ori's bigger chamber and harder cowhide material, while getting a nice smoothing out of the treble. A nice mod to try out if your preferred sound signature is more in line with mine, though I suspect at this point my VC sounds sort of like the AC with these changes.

And probably just as poisonous as all the other woods

All this snake talk is not going to win you any brownie points with @BooUrns
Take it from me, I know.

Not being too much out in the woods: I still do love my sapele VC….haven’t had the option to try more wood… but of course I do trust you….
